The Dubuque Regional Airport and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will host a TSA PreCheck® enrollment event at the Capt. Robert L. Martin Terminal, 10965 Aviation Drive, beginning Tuesday, July 22, through Friday, July 25.

Appointment hours will be held each weekday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the terminal’s Airline Ticket Office #2. Applicants do not need an airline ticket to access the enrollment center. TSA recommends that interested individuals pre-enroll and make an appointment online at www.Identogo.com/precheck. Walk-in appointments will be accepted as space and personnel are available. It is recommended that those interested in enrolling apply as soon as possible, as appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Our TSA PreCheck enrollment events are always very popular, and appointments usually completely fill up,” says Dubuque Regional Airport Manager Todd Dalsing. “We’re expecting the same to happen this time, given this is our first enrollment event of 2025. We’ve already been hearing from interested folks wondering when their next chance to sign up would be.”

Enrollment appointments generally take ten minutes or less. Applicants should bring documentation which prove their identity and citizenship status. They will also be fingerprinted and have their photo taken in order to complete the TSA background check.

Travelers who are enrolled in TSA PreCheck® can participate in an expedited screening process at more than 200 airports across the United States. They are allowed to keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and can leave their laptops and liquid 3-1-1 bags inside their carry-on when processing through an airport security checkpoint.

The application fee is $76.75, which covers a five-year membership. The fee must be paid at the enrollment center by credit card, money order, company check, or certified/cashier’s check. Cash and personal checks are not accepted. Enrollees will need to bring documentation proving identity and citizenship or legal residency status. Documentation requirements are listed on the DHS trusted traveler comparison tool website. Fingerprints are collected to complete a background check.

Successful applicants will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN), which they can access online about a week after their application is processed. Passengers should enter the KTN when booking airline reservations via a participating airline website, via phone call to the airline reservation center, or with the travel management company making reservations.
